Skulls On The Plains Of Turkey
*100 copies limited edition.* On the latest album, Robin Storey once again invites us to a musical journey closer to the exotic world of the Orient, sparkling with many delicately woven miniatures, based on fragments of melodies, heard as if in the deep sleep phase, when sounds and images reaching us from a distance gently fill the space, giving the impression of an integral part of it. Out of nine tracks filled with tribal rhythms, vocals and a wide palette of colors, an extremely coherent, sli…

Monument Of Empty Colours + Depression And Ideal
Dirk Serries is an extremely prolific and creative artist who has a huge amount of music composed solo, under his own name or under the name Vidna Obmana.

Heart Of A Wolf (2CD)
** 2022 stock ** Limited edition of 423 copies. Released in six-panel Digipak with additional insert card. This is the second collaborative album by the industrial legend the Polish duo from Torun, and is a sonic postcard from their 2011 tour in May 2011 and is composed of two, supposedly without overdub, livesets: „Live in Torun” is the first set, a long track, and is focused on the resonance of the cymabals and gong notoriously used by the players in the first part of the gig while the develop…
The River Of Appearance
** 2021 stock ** This Vidna Obmana work is a surprising return to textural composition, particularly since intervening collaborations with Djen Ajakan Shean and Steve Roach have revealed the more restless side of Dirk Serries compositional persona. Still, an overarching focus on melody and dynamics distinguishes Appearance from earlier program works such as the Trilogy, combining mood with movement in far more obviously "musical" ways. Slow strings and piano, and gentle and sparse repeating line…
Revealed By Composed Nature
Tip! ** 2021 stock ** Vidna Obmana (née Dirk Serries) recorded Revealed By Composed Nature in 1989 and 1990. It was his first vinyl album, intended as a sequel to his cassette releases. However, the pressing was of such poor quality that much of the emotional intent was lost. Serries digitally remastered the album and presents it here on CD. He also restored the original depth of emotions. Through a unique process, Serries creates synchronized loops through the internal sequences of the instrume…
The Shape Of Solitude
** 2021 stock ** "A collaboration with yet another guitarist, The Shape of Solitude takes Vidna Obmana's music nearer the realm of the Avant-Garde. This collaboration with guitarist Serge Devadder demonstrates Vidna Obmana's willingness to lead the audience, not persue them; fans of his gentle soundscapes or tribal grooves will find themselves challenged by this CD. The source for all the pieces was the guitar. Devadder's already contorted riffs were bent even further by Vidna Obmana's studio wi…
